The world of Prototype 2 is a grim one, with
secret government experiments and viral
outbreaks exposing the world to genetically
altered and manufactured horrors.

в“ їп the first Prototype, one such

A 68's experiment, a virus known as Blacklight, was
A PO © responsible for an outbreak that devastated

AS New York City. A scientist named Alex Mercer
was at the center of the outbreak, and the
events of Prototype chronicled his story, and

the near total destruction of NYC.

in Prototype 2, some years after the events
of the first game, New York City has been
renamed New York Zero, or NYZ, and a new
wave of the Blacklight virus has divided the
city into three different zones: Green, Yellow,
and Red.

Blackwatch, a special military unit dedicated
to battling biological warfare, is responsible
for containing the outbreak, while Gentek, a
gn corporation focused on genetic engineering,
, а continues their experiments with the virus.
2 / As they did in the first game, these two
mS organizations work in tandem to insure that
|. NYZ stays a dangerous place.

This time, the story is told from the
perspective of a soldier named James Heller.
Much like many of NYZ's inhabitants, he has
become infected with the Blacklight virus.
Unlike the other Blacklight victims that fill
the city, Heller now has the means to seek
revenge.

^w

Along with Heller, Alex Mercer is still

out there, somewhere in the infected ruins
of NYZ, and the tale of Blacklight, Gentek,
Blackwatch, and the Infected is

not yet finished...

James Heller begins the game as a bereaved soldier, after his wife and
daughter are lost to the Infected attacks in NYZ. No longer caring for his —
own Ше, he requests deployment to the most dangerous area of NYZ. Initially _
denied, he is eventually recruited by a Blackwatch kill team and sent into ne
Red Zone. =

His encounter there begins a new chapter in the story of the Blacklight
Virus, as Heller is infected and transformed, granting him superhuman
powers and a new mission.

This chapter provides details on all of the Traits, Powers, Mutations, Skills,
Abilities, and Evolutions that Heller can acquire.

For Prototype veterans, you will be pleased to discover that Heller can be
customized to a much greater degree than Alex Mercer. Throughout the
course of the game, there are numerous optional challenges and events you
can tackle to increase Heller's power, allowing you to customize Heller's
mutations to your personal taste.

We examine each of the possible upgrades to help you decide how best to
modify and alter Heller's DNA. Enjoy!

UPGRADING HELLER

Power, Skill, and Ability upgrades are unlocked by completing specific main story missions. Once unlocked, special Infected and
Blackwatch marked with the upgrade symbol appear in the world for you to consume.

If you fail to consume an upgrade Infected or Blackwatch due to it dying or you traveling out of range,
don't worry, new ones with the upgrade always appear again. You can't permanently miss an upgrade!

CONSUME, REGENERATION
ACQUISITION —» MISSION 2

Consumption is a powerful ability granted by the Blacklight infection. Heller is capable of literally consuming any organic matter—
be it Blackwatch soldiers or Infected monsters.

Consuming humans grants you the ability to assume their forms as a disguise, vital for E Blackwatch bases and avoiding
detection around the city. —

It is possible to consume humans overtly or covertly. If done
stealthily, you can infiltrate Blackwatch bases without raising
an Alert. This is also useful throughout the story if you want
to complete parts of certain missions without unnecessary
fighting.

Basic humans and weak Infected can be consumed simply by
grabbing them, but tougher enemies must be beaten down until
they are staggered. Once they are weak enough, you can then
grab and consume them.

Heller's infection also grants him the ability to regenerate from even the worst wounds.

Once you unlock the Regeneration Evolutionary ability later in the game, Heller regenerates health when outside of combat. vou
can upgrade Regeneration as you gain Evolution levels, improving its effectiveness and eventually allowing you to regenerate even :
while in combat.

HUNTING, DISGUISE
ACQUISITION — MISSION 3

Viral “sonar” as Heller so aptly describes it during Mission 3: The Strong Survive, is exactly what it sounds like—the ability to
send out pings that let you track down a specific person via triangulation.

Hunting is most useful when you need to locate a specific person during a story mission, or when ELT have to hunt down a
Blackwatch trooper, Gentek scientist, or even a civillian during
a Blacknet mission.

While active, pressing the Hunt button sends out a visual ping
of screen-covering red light. It then returns from the target as a
white circle centered wherever the target is located.

It is easier to see where the center of the circle is returning
from if you are high up off the ground. Find a nearby rooftop
and use Hunt to more easily discern the location of your prey.

Once you are in range of your target, they are highlighted by the
use of Hunt. This causes their entire body to glow, making them
easy to pick out of a crowd.

After consuming a human, Heller instantly assumes their form,
and from that point on he can then assume that new form

at any time by pressing the Disguise button. This lets him
switch back and forth between his normal appearance and the
disguise (clothing included!).

Blackwatch disguises are vital for stealthy infiltration, and any
disguise is useful to escape a Blackwatch Alert. If you switch
while out of sight of your pursuers, the pursuit is quickly lost.

Note that switching while you are in sight of foes after you
have riled up Blackwatch doesn't do you any good. You have to
switch while you are out of line of sight.

STEALTH AND THE SUSPICION METER

Blackwatch soldiers don't automatically attack you while you're roaming the city—unless you attract their attention.

To represent their interest in Heller's actions, you have a Suspicion meter that gradually fills if you perform unusual actions for a
civilian or Blackwatch soldier, and drains when you get out of sight or stop attracting their attention.

Filling the Suspicion meter completely, taking any aggressive actions, or revealing your Blacklight infection via an overt display of
mutation causes you to enter an Alert state, and nearby soldiers attack you immediately.

If you stay in an Alert state for an extended period of time, a Strike Team is called in to attack you. Strike Teams pursue you
relentlessly, unlike normal Alert states which can be evaded by simply fleeing the scene.

Some actions that can trigger an Alert or raise suspicion include:

> Attacking any Blackwatch trooper or base is an instant Alert.

> Activating any Mutation in plain view of a soldier, or walking into view with a Power active causes an alert. This includes
Claws or other weapon forms, consuming a human or Infected, or performing superhuman feats like picking up a car.

> Standing in range of a Viral Detector rapidly increases suspicion.

> Running on walls and gliding can raise suspicion, as does landing hard from a high fall, though they are unlikely to
trigger an instant Alert unless you fly directly over a Blackwatch base in Heller form.

> Bumping into soldiers raises suspicion, and attracts some attention for a few seconds as nearhy soldiers watch you.

Naturally, suspicious actions only raise the meter if you are actually under active observation.

You can tell this at a glance. The
Suspicion Meter is black if you are
unobserved, illuminated yellow if | d je
you can be seen by Blackwatch i : "EM EAM E,
troops, and fills with yellow as p STRI 34 Te A
you perform suspicious actions. | gi
If it fills completely, it turns red
and you come under attack. To
break an Alert, flee the scene,
and when the onscreen prompt
("Switch!") appears, you can
change forms to kill the Alert
immediately.

After switching, your previous
form is still "hot", represented by
a draining red meter.

VIRAL DETECTORS

Viral Detectors are special devices located in Blackwatch bases designed to sense the presence of the Blacklight virus.
This makes them the one thing that can penetrate your disguise if you aren't taking any overt aggressive actions.

| While you are standing near a detector, the suspicion meter rises continuously. Get out of range before you are detected if you are trying to be stealthy. | A

POWERS

Powers are Heller's personal weaponry, ranging from swift and lethal Claws to ponderous, crushing Hammerfists.

Each Power has strengths and weaknesses in different situations, but as you are allowed to switch instantly in combat (and pause
combat while doing so), you can always use the best tool for the job.

Powers are unlocked during specific story missions, so the only way to acquire them all is to progress through the main storyline.

ACQUISITION —• MISSION 4
UPGRADES UNLOCK AFTER —* MISSION 4, 11, 17
Your earliest Power, Claws are your basic melee attack for most of the game.
They are fast, deal good damage, and have a leaping attack that gives you excellent mobility, either for offense or escape.

The Claws basic attack is lethal against weak Blackwatch
soldiers or Infected, but it requires quite a few hits against
Orion Supersoldiers, Brawlers, or Evolved. The Claws are not an
ideal weapon against heavy armor.

Tap Attack for rapid Claw slashes.

Hold Attack for a Claw Pounce attack. This attack has a
very long leap distance, and can be used to target enemies on
the ground or in the air, and used while jumping to propel you
towards a targeted enemy.

¿2 TENDRILS

ACQUISITION —e MISSION 6
UPGRADES UNLOCK AFTER —e MISSION 6, 11, 17

Tendrils are the second unlocked Power, and they are a very useful and versatile weapon.

Unlike Claws, Tendrils are of average speed at best, but they have a slightly longer reach in melee range, and have a longer range
power attack.

The real power of Tendrils is what they do when they hit an enemy. Strands of genetic goo (yum!) attach to the target and the
surrounding environment, pinning your hapless victim in place.

At the beginning, they can only pin smaller enemies, but when
upgraded once, they can lock down large Brawlers, Super
Soldiers, or even vehicles!

Against the tougher melee enemies, this makes Tendrils a very
powerful weapon, as they allow you to freeze these formidible foes
in place and score some free damage. In the case of the Brawlers
specifically, you can actually pin them down and slice off a limb
while they are frozen, reducing their offensive power considerably.

Tap Attack for a Tendril grab. Anything struck by your
Tendrils is wrapped in a mass of biological strands. This attack instantly kills weaker enemies, and stronger foes are tied down,
frozen in place temporarily.

Hold Attack for a Black Hole attack. This is a longer range Tendril strike, and when it impacts, biological strands grab anything
nearby in the environment and pull it onto your target with crushing force.

In mid-air, holding Attack triggers the same Black Hole attack, so you can use it to strike helicopters, or to hit ground vehicles
from above.

This attack happily grabs other nearby enemies, cars, debris, explosive containers; you name it, pulling it all in with
crushing force.

The Black Hole attack is ideal for doing a good chunk of damage to a stronger target, while at the same time killing weaker nearby
enemies by pulling them into the center mass and gibbing them instantly.

BLADE

ACQUISITION MISSION 13B
UPGRADES UNLOCK AFTER MISSION 13B, 17, 20
An iconic weapon of Alex Mercer in the first Prototype, the Blade returns, and it is a powerful weapon indeed.

| JAMES HELLER |

An upgrade in raw power from the Claws, the Blade is ideal for clearing out weak enemies and slicing larger ones to pieces.
It is even strong enough to deal respectable damage to armored vehicles.

The Blade trades speed and agility for power and reach, but in most situations, it can be safely used instead of the Claws. It is
especially effective at slicing up the Brawlers and Orion Supersoldiers encountered from the mid-game on (conveniently, also the
same point at which you acquire the Blade).

Tap Attack for cleaving slash attacks.

Hold Attack for a Tornado spinning attack. Tornado
sends you spinning forwards, slicing
apart all nearby foes and dealing solid
damage to any single enemy in front
of you.

In midair, holding Attack causes an Air
Slice, similar to the Claw Pounce. You
can use this to home in on a locked
target, either in mid-air or on
the ground.

If you simply tap Attack,
you perform a weaker,
but faster, flying
slice.

(2 HAMMERFIST

ACQUISITION —* MISSION 14А
UPGRADES UNLOCK AFTER —e MISSION 14A, 17, 20

The Hammerfist is a ponderous and powerful weapon, capable of dealing crushing blows that cause
rippling shockwaves, damaging any foes nearby.

The Hammerfist trades off speed heavily for this power however, so while it is great for dispatching
large groups of weak foes using power attacks, or for smashing
slow moving armor, it's the wrong weapon to use against tough,
agile enemies.

Its power attacks are really power attacks though, they excel at
dealing area of effect damage in one huge burst.

Tap Attack for a slow multi-hit ground slam. This attack is
excellent for smashing armored vehicles to bits.

Hold Attack for a Ground Spike attack. This causes a blast
of spines to erupt from the ground in a large cone in front of
Heller. This attack is ideal for clearing out weak enemies nearby.

Holding Attack in mid-air performs the same Ground Spike, by first slamming into the ground with crushing force. This attack is
great both for clearing groups and for coming down atop armored vehicles.

Tapping Attack in midair performs an elbow drop that impacts with crushing force, strong enough to smash weaker Infected.

C^; WHIPFIST

ACQUISITION —* MISSION 20
UPGRADES UNLOCK AFTER —* MISSION 20

The final Power that Heller acquires, the Whipfist is a specialized weapon, a long range tool that can perform sweeping attacks, or
focused long-range strikes.

The Whipfist is notably useful for giving you an easy and reliable weapon to use against helicopters. Until you earn this, there

are other ways to take them down quickly, but they rely on the presence of Blackwatch weaponry, thrown items, or reaching the
helicopter directly to weaponize or hijack it. а ---

>>> The Whipfist has one other unique and very useful property While
active, Heller can use the Whipfist to automatically extend his grabs.

This means you can grab targets from a distance to consume or
| create bio-bombs with.

ATTACKS

Tap Attack for a wide sweeping strike. This long range, side to side sweep instantly kills weak enemies, but it is not a great
attack against single strong enemies.

Hold Attack for a Long Shot, this projects the Whipfist out in a straight line, dealing a single high powered strike to any
single target.

The Long Shot, in the air or on the ground, is perfect for taking out helicopters, and also works fairly well for dealing damage to
tough enemies at a safe distance.

MUTATIONS

Mutations are special upgrades acquired by completing side missions—Collectibles and Blacknet missions both award a variety
of Mutation types. Completing a mission that awards a Mutation allows you to pick any one Mutation in that category.

RADNET MISSIONS

7 p >» >J Radnet missions are unique in that they have their own specific set of Mutations, unlocked only via Radnet missions, and there are five of them in total.

" Note that some Mutations are restricted to the Green or Red Zones—you must complete a side mission in those Zones to pick
- that specific Mutation.

Mutations provide small benefits to abilities that you can use in
many situations, and larger boosts to more specific abilities.

Picking the Mutations that affect the abilities you use most
often and that affect the widest range of abilities is a sound
strategy.

If you find yourself having trouble in any of the main story
missions, taking a break to tackle side objectives and increase ES
in Evolutionary level, as well as earn Mutations, can ease the ~~
difficulty considerably.

S£ OFFENSIVE

Offensive Mutations boost Heller's damaging capabilities. We recommend picking up Melee Expert, Strike Force, Darwinism, and
Revenge Boost as soon as possible to boost your Power attacks against all types of enemies. :

Grab the тоге specialized bonuses once you figure out what sort of attacks you prefer using.

LOCOMOTION

Locomotion upgrades are all very useful for getting around the city more quickly.

It's worth noting that some of the later Cargo Delivery Blacknet missions can be fairly difficult if you don't have Heller's Movement
Evolutions fully upgraded and most or all of the Locomotion mutations.

They aren't absolutely necessary, but they do make the races much easier. If you're having trouble staying ahead of the clock,
invest in some Locomotion upgrades and try again.

SKILLS

Skills are special upgrades to Heller's handling of Blackwatch assets—vehicles and weaponry.

All of these upgrades are useful, and conveniently, just like the upgrades to Heller's Powers, these are acquired by consuming
Blackwatch personnel marked with the © or © ісоп.

These upgrade NPCs appear throughout the world once they are unlocked by completing specific story missions, and they're
always worth pursuing.

The first levels of Armor and Helicopter use must be acquired via specific missions before you can use them at all, while you can
make use of Blackwatch weapons very early in the game.

Generally speaking, Assault Rifles, Light Machine Guns, Grenade Launchers and Rocket Launchers aren't as strong as Heller's
own melee Powers, butthey have the advantage of range.

The Launchers in particular remain useful for most of the game, as they are valuable for taking down helicopters and armor ata
distance. If you really want to keep a Brawler or Supersoldier at arm's length, they are also helpful in that role.

HEAVY WEAPONS
Weaponized APC, Tank, and Helicopter armaments are a different

matter entirely.

Those weapons wreck the house! By all means, tear off TOWs,
Gatling guns, and rocket pods and go to town on any and all
Infected and Blackwatch in the area.

To some degree they can even be stronger than the vehicle itself
in short bursts, as they are limited by ammunition, not a heat/
cooldown meter.

A Gatling gun from a Tank is a terror that can lay waste to entire
packs of Infected or squads of Blackwatch, and TOWs or rocket
pods can easily dispatch Hydra or APC convoys.

EVOLUTION

Evolution upgrades are earned by acquiring experience points throughout the game. Experience can be earned by completing
missions, consuming targets marked with a €». or (in much smaller amounts) for simply causing havoc and destroying
Blackwatch and Infected enemies.

Each Evolution Level gained allows you to purchase one upgrade to one of the six upgrade lines. Mass and Finishers are restricted
until unlocked in specific storyline missions, but the others can be fully upgraded immediately, even if you ignore the story for
some time.

DARWIN WOULD BE PROUD

You can directly control your evolution, and not all of the upgrades are created equal, so here's some advice if you want to plow right through the story without
getting other upgrades:

e Pick up the Regeneration upgrades immediately, mixing in a few Health upgrades.
e Grab the first level Mass upgrade to prevent interruptions to Devastator and Pack Leader.
* Get the Finisher upgrades when available. They allow you to instantly terminate armor and helicopters.

e Pick up the Movement upgrades later, or, pick them up when you start tackling side missions to aid your travel around the city and do Cargo Delivery
missions.

* The Shapeshifting upgrades are the least important, as you aren't threatened when playing stealthily, and as long as you're careful, you don't need these
| Upgrades to do a full stealth infiltration anywhere in the game |

Abilities are special actions that can be performed in combat—the Shield enabling block is the most fundamental, while 5
Bio-Bomb is a special offensive tool, and Pack Leader grants you a new use for your Mass Bar.

The Shield upgrades are acquired during the story, but the upgrades for Bio-Bomb and Pack Leader are acquired in the same
manner as other consumable upgrades, from Infected throughout the game once they are unlocked.

Bio-Bomb lets you turn any basic Infected or human into a literal biological explosive. Grab one and tap Attack to infect them,
then throw them at your target and watch the fireworks.

Pack Leader, on the other hand, uses your Mass Bar as an alternative to the Devastator ability. Using it summons your very own
pack of obedient Brawlers to lay waste to your enemies!

DEVASTATOR
>>> Devastator is acquired during the story, as with your other abilities, but it is only upgraded via Evolutionary upgrades, unlike Pack Leader, which has separate
bonuses specifically to improve the Brawlers.
Devastator unleashes a huge explosion of biomass around Heller, dealing increased damage with more investment in the Mass evolutionary line.

It is especially useful for clearing out weak enemies around you, and at higher power levels, can even destroy or heavily damage vehicles or tough

| enemies as well.

THE OPPOSITION

1 ۵
S MG. OMEN

Heller's foes are an oppressive and secretive branch of the military known as Blackwatch and the mutated Infected horrors
created by the Blacklight virus.

BLACKWATCH

Conflict with Blackwatch occurs constantly throughout

the main story missions, though how often you battle them
during free roaming is entirely dependent on how you
behave—stay stealthy and you can get around the city easily,
but display your Blacklight powers and expect a fight!

In 1962, the US government authorized the Department

of the Army and the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency to found Blackwatch: a combination of specialized
military strike teams and bioweapons research division.
Headquartered at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland,
their entire existence was top-secret. Their mandate

was to research and develop biological weaponry for

use against foreign powers. Their first focus was on
weaponizing a new virus named Blacklight.

In time, their research became so all-consuming that they
founded Gentek—a private, public-facing pharmaceuticals
and bioengineering company. The goal was to expand the

operation without the country discovering the existence of
Blackwatch, which still operated in secret.

By 2008, Blackwatch had grown into a full semi-
paramilitary organization funded entirely by independent
profits leeched from Gentek’s pharmaceutical operations.
Blackwatch was keen to improve America’s control! over
the world’s dwindling resources by releasing the virus
on “undesirable populations” and taking control of

their ruined economies. If Mercer hadn’t released the
virus on New York (during the original Prototype),
Blackwatch would have likely inflicted the virus on an
unsuspecting oil-rich country.

Despite the catastrophic intervention of Alex Mercer
in 2008, Blackwatch was allowed to maintain
control over all Blacklight-related events. Their
activities have so far followed a very specific
pattern: they inflict Blacklight on a population
(or take advantage of an existing outbreak),
observe the results, perform additional
experiments, eventually lose control of the
outbreak, and then attempt to destroy the
population—all in the name of weaponizing
the virus. They've also engaged in a wide
variety of other small-scale experiments.

X ORION SUPERSOLDIERS

During early tests, Blackwatch discovered that the
Blacklight virus could be altered to grant superior
abilities to lab animals. Gentek investigated this

E ES їп 2012, Gentek perfected the strain and

NS created two phases of a new supersoldier,
* 51 project codenamed Orion. The Orion Phase
1 has increased size, strength, fortitude,
and speed. They can jump and run up walls
and present a serious danger for Heller. The
Orion Phase 2 remains classified.

The Orion Supersoldiers are very close to Infected
Brawlers in terms of their threat level, but fighting them is
slightly different.

APC/TANK

These heavily armored vehicles are used by Blackwatch as transports and weapons against the Infected.

APCs show up earlier in the game than the more powerful main battle tanks. These vehicles pose a threat to Heller any time you
are fighting on the ground, particularly near Blackwatch bases where they are more likely to be found.

During story or side missions, APCs and Tanks are often used to anchor a Blackwatch assault force, so learning to deal with them
is important.

Both vehicles are vulnerable
to attacks from Tendrils or the
Hammerfist, Launchers (both
grenade and rocket), heavy
thrown objects (cars and the
like), and Blackwatch heavy
weapons (weaponized APCs,
tanks, or helicopters). You can
rip the TOW Rocket Launcher
from the APC, or a Gatling
Gun from the Tank.

Both vehicles can be instantly
destroyed once you learn the
Armor Finisher Evolutionary
upgrade. Once you learn
Armor Handling, you can also
hijack APCs and Tanks for your
own use.

UAVS AND
TURRETS а

Both of these mechanical units E *

The UAV acts as a detector unit

HELICOPTERS — TRANSPORT/BUNSHIP

Helicopters are aerial Blackwatch support, and they are a constant thorn in your side throughout the game.

Transport helicopters carry strike teams of Blackwatch troops into the area, unloading even more trouble on your head, while the
more heavily armed and armored gunships are more dangerous as combat units.

Late in the story missions, you acquire the ability to weaponize their rocket pods, and later still you learn to actually pilot any
helicopter! Helicopters are great fun to fly, and extremely effective as weapons against Blackwatch and Infected enemies as well.

When fighting helicopters, the best policy early in the game is simply avoidance, as you can break their pursuit by losing their line
of sight behind a building and changing forms.

In the mid-game, use launchers and thrown debris to down them. Later, you can use your Whipfist Long Shot, heavy weapons from
weaponized vehicles, or, once acquired, the helicopter Finisher that allows you to instantly destroy them (and smashing a helicopter
with an uppercut may well he the coolest stunt in Prototype 2...).

THE OPPOSITION

MUTANTS

Creatures infected with the Blacklight virus display a variety of mutations.
These range from twisted, but still recognizably human, forms, all the

way into colossal multi-story Goliaths that are more dangerous than heavy
military equipment.

INFECTED

The standard Blacklight entity is the Infected. These are human-
sized and (generally) human-shaped walking dead that wander the
streets mindlessly and seek to devour flesh and organs. A Blacklight
outbreak appears to create hordes of these creatures; in reality, they
represent less than 1% of all victims of the virus.

Infected are created when a Blacklight infection does not kill a victim
but also fails to activate any notable dormant DNA in them. The victim
awakens from unconsciousness, displays the intelligence of an animal,
and seeks purely to kill and consume living (and dead) organisms.

Infected retain a humanoid appearance but manifest various tumors and other
viral growths that tear through clothing and greatly alter their sithouette.
They have average speed, enhanced strength, and can be killed the same
way as a regular human.

infected are not a significant threat to Heller, and in fact, are often more of a
boon to have around as an easy source of health when you consume them.

Outside very specific objectives that involve fighting Infected hordes, you can
safely ignore and avoid basic Infected any time you don’t need health.

JUGGERNAUT

humanoid, these beasts are
as large as a van and just
about as hard to destroy.

Juggernauts are usually grey-
skinned, belying their rock-
like flesh. This flesh, when properly angled, can deflect rockets and other powerful, high-speed attacks. Their primary attack
method is simple: they smash their hammer-like fists on the enemy. Some variants of the Juggernaut have been shown to agitate
the biomass running beneath the city, summoning a wave of spikes from the ground.

Juggernauts are the most dangerous ground based Infected apart from the much more rare Goliath. Juggernauts are also rather
uncommon, only showing up during specific missions or deep in Infected territory.

Dodging Juggernauts doesn’t always work well due to their crushing area of effect strikes and their surprisingly quick spinning
blows. Instead, block their attacks and then retaliate when they are vulnerable.

Juggernauts are the only type of Infected that can actively block your attacks, so between their pounding blows and their blocking,
they are the least favorable enemy to engage in melee
combat when there are other threats around you.

au —M

Making use of Blackwatch vehicles against them is
also a good idea, whenever possible. Otherwise, the
Hammerfist works well to pound them into submission.

Juggernauts can fling debris at you from long range,
so be aware of their presence if you're flying around in
a helicopter!

Like Brawlers, you can encounter Alpha Juggernauts
during some missions that are slightly tougher than the
normal versions.

BRAWLER

Brawlers are infected monsters that are as large as a grizzly bear and just as savage. Like Infected, they
seek to devour flesh, but Brawlers are much more predatory, intelligent, and dangerous. They run on
all fours, leap several stories high, possess incredible strength and fortitude, and sport a set of

k- razor-sharp, foot-long bone claws.
Brawlers are born from Blacklight pustules, man-sized biomass wombs. A Brawler may
merely be a base-level infected that has entered a cocoon state, surrounded itself with a
pustule, and then transformed into a Brawler (this has not been proven). Pustules are found
in areas infested with biomass. Brawlers are born fully-formed, enraged, and ready to fight.

Of all the monsters, Brawlers are the fastest and most savage. They can easily keep up with a
vehicle and just as easily topple it with a shoulder-check. Their flesh is pinkish, hairless, and
glows with Blacklight-infused muscle fiber. They are incredibly strong and can sustain large

ч amounts of damage before dying. Otherwise, they are simply very large humanoids that
move on all fours.

Hydras are three-story-tall tentacles that erupt from the ground to swat at nearby enemies. They can burrow underground to

reach a more advantageous position, sometimes choosing to erupt from the ground directly underneath a tank, building, or
other enemy site.

It is not known where Hydras come from. It is possible that, since the biomass trunks also erupt from underground, Hydras may

simply be animal-like appendages that extend or “bud” from the biomass itself (though no biomass trunk has yet shown this kind of
behavior or any kind of intelligence, even animal-like).

Hydras are pink- and red-glowing tapered worms. They are usually six feet wide at the base, where they erupt from the ground. Their
mouths are topped with two bone-like mandibles that form a long pointed scoop. These mandibles can separate to reveal a mouth

that spits out a tongue. This tongue can grab enemies and bring them closer for a titanic slap from the tentacle itself or, presumably,
to be devoured.

Hydra are rarely encountered while you're on foot, but when they are, dispatch them from a distance with rocket launchers or
vehicle weaponry.

They can he taken out with melee attacks; it's just not a good idea to get in range of their pounding strikes or their "tongue" lashing.

Hydra can attack at a distance by tossing chunks of debris at you, so be ready to dodge on foot, and stay mobile when in a vehicle.
Interesting, Hydra can move once they have burst from the ground, but they seldom make use of this mobility.

Your introduction to the Infected and ruined remnants of NYZ begins with James Heller in an APC along with a squad of soldiers
dispatched into the Red Zone.

Their ride doesn't make it far before it is attacked
in a spectacular manner—a vehicle comes hurtling
out of the distance, smashing into the APC and
sending it spinning uncontrollably.

When Heller wakes up, the rest of his squad is
dead, and he's barely standing. That's when Alex
Mercer appears, gliding out of the sky!

Enraged, Heller charges him and stabs him
repeatedly with his combat knife—to no noticeable
effect. If anything, Mercer appears to be...

Once you pump enough explosives

TENDRILS
Tendrils are a powerful disabling weapon. They have a bit more reach than the Claws, but are much slower.

In exchange however, they literally tie up anything you attack, with ropey strings of organic matter (pleasant, yes?)
On smaller targets, such as Blackwatch troops or basic Infected, they simply tear the target apart in a messy fashion

BLACK HOLE

The charged attack for the Tendrils creates a focal point on
whatever you target, and then pulls in anything nearby to smash

into that central target.

A squad of Blackwatch soldiers arrives, but they simply serve as
target practice for your new power. Use the basic Tendril attack on
them and watch the carnage.

This means you can target a Blackwatch soldier, a Brawler, or an

standing after the

including Orions and helicopters.

With the Phase Two Orion destroyed, your next target is Dr. Koenig.
Unfortunately when you trigger the mission, Heller's direct and
obvious approach is rewarded with a pair of gunships waiting for you.

NATURAL SELECTION

EVOLVED

You can destroy them with Black Hole tendril attacks, or use Claw Pounce to close the distance and then get in a few swipes while you
are close enough.

If you hit the street and search nearby, you may also be able to track down a rocket launcher and use it to finish off the helis.

Once the helis are down, your next order of business is locating
Dr. Koenig's location. Blackwatch comm chatter reveals a
commander nearby who knows where Dr. Koenig is hiding.

The commander is in an APC. Tear off the TOW and use it to blast
the APC. Once done, the commander attempts to flee. You know
what to do; grab and consume the commander!

His memories reveal the location of Dr.

Koenig: Base Seven. Follow the waypoint to

Dr. Koenig also tinkers with the electronics onboard, causing an

Unexpectedly Dr. Koenig survives the crash. When you approach,
a cutscene triggers as Heller interrogates the scientist.

There's a surprise waiting for you—Dr. Koenig is not a Gentek
scientist. Or at least, he is not only a Gentek scientist. He has also
been infected with the Blacklight virus!

Dr. Koenig reveals
his power as his
arms transform
into bladed
weapons!

Dr. Koenig is an
Evolved, one of
Mercer's converts.

Hes also out to kill you...

Treat Evolved as slightly faster Brawlers. You can dodge his attacks easily, then strike from behind. Because he is faster and more agile

than a Brawler however, Tendril attacks are a bit harder to land, making Claws more effective.

Pound on Dr. Koenig until he reaches about half health. When he does, he flees the scene to a nearby rooftop. Follow him to finish him off.

Once he's beaten down enough,
consume him. The memory

you receive when you do so is
troubling. More concerning yet,
are Mercer's plans involving the
Green Zone. It's about time you
departed the Yellow Zone and
travelled to the Green Zone to
investigate more closely.

Heller takes an interest in meeting him, but for now, you need to

Roland is an Evolved, and he fights in the same style as Dr. Koenig:
fast moving, agile, and attacking with strong melee strikes.

Use dodges and blocks to evade or blunt his assault, and
counterattack when possible. Note that your Hammerfist is not
the best weapon to use against him, though you can certainly use
aerial pounds to deal some safe damage.

The Whipfist is an ideal weapon for quickly i

The Whipfists power attack is a directed long-range strike,
perfect for dealing damage to helicopters, or single tough
enemies at a distance

Note that the Whipfist shares the ability to damage large groups
with the Hammerfist's power attacks, but unlike the Hammerfist,
the Whipfist is fairly quick to use, and its basic attacks are ideal
for clearing an area.

the barricade works well.

This is it. The final confrontation with Mercer over the fate of both

Head to the waypoint to begin the battle with Mercer. When you

arrive, Mercer absorbs a huge group of his Evolved, strengthening

him for the battle to come.

Mercer fights
mostly like an

is agile, quick, and
powerful, but he is
significantly more
dangerous, and
harder to attack
directly.

ERN ERCER'S BLADE

Mercer begins the assault by attacking with a Blade. Don't attack
him directly with your own Blade. Doing so causes an instant and
painful retaliation.

Instead, switch to a different
power and engage him. Use
dodges to flip over Mercer's
head and attack him safely
from behind.

Don't over-commit to a combo string,
land a few hits, dodge, then re-engage.

When Mercer's healthbar is depleted, he
steps back and makes a huge leaping
attack. This is very telegraphed, with a

Scattered throughout the game are 82 Collectibles, Prototype 2%
catch-all term for a mix of actual collectibles (Blackboxes) and
mini-missions (Field Ops and Lairs).

To view the Collectibles, select Collectibles from the main menu
(they are not visible from the normal main map). In the Collectibles
map, you can check each district to see how many collectibles of
each type exist in any given area.

Gathering all of the collectibles of any type in a district (Blackbox,
Field Ops, or Lair) grants you a bonus Mutation.

While our map marks the exact locations of the Collectibles in
the game, note that the game itself gives you strong hints to their
locations as well, if you want to hunt them without additional help.

From the Collectibles map, periodic pings near the location of
whatever collectible category you have selected appear. These

pings aren't spot on, but they're in the general vicinity. If you set
a waypoint near one, you can usually track down the collectible
without too much trouble.

Field Ops and Lairs immediately appear on your mini-map once
you are in the vicinity, but Blackboxes must be tracked down a bit
more carefully.

When you are near a Blackbox, a range indicator appears on your
screen, which you can use to triangulate the location of
the recorder.

Note that Blackboxes also emit a small sound, and the fallen
Blackwatch soldier always has a blinking red light on his uniform.
If you jump or glide high up in the air and look down in the vicinity
of a range indicator to a Blackbox, you can often spot the glow
from a distance to quickly pinpoint the location.

BLACKBOXES

Blackboxes are the data recorders of fallen Blackwatch troops,
scattered about the city. They are divided up into sets, one set in
each of the districts in the Yellow, Green, and Red zones.

The sets tell a short story about happenings
in the city, and once you acquire them, you
can listen to the recordings at any time by
Ш selecting them on the Collectibles map. This
Ж particularly useful if you've been picking

them up randomly while exploring the city,
and you want to hear all the recordings in a set in sequence.

ы 3 4

For step by step directions to each and every Blackbox location,
check out our Prototype 2 videos on Xbox Live* Marketplace!

FIELD 0PS

Field Ops are short combat engagements against specific groups

of Blackwatch troops. When you locate one, they show up on your
mini-map as a y. Defeat every target in the area marked with the
icon to clear a given Field Op. --

As with the other collectibles, Field Ops are organized into sets
in each district, and when you defeat all of the Ops in a given
district, you are awarded with a new mutation.

It is entirely possible you may encounter these groups of enemies
and eliminate them during your normal wandering around the city, -
even without seeking them out! -

When you're feeling belligerent and you want to cause some pain
to the nastiest Blackwatch forces, seek out Field Ops for some
combat action. -

Lairs are similar to Field Ops, but you're up against Infected
Lairs instead of Blackwatch units. Scattered about the city are
underground Lairs filled with Infected of various types (more
dangerous varieties appear in the Lairs later in the game).

As with the other collectibles, clearing out Lairs earns you I
mutation upgrades, and Lairs are also a decent source of extra XP—
to raise your Evolution level.

Of the three types of collectible, Lairs are the most involved, as

you actually enter a mini-interior area to battle the Infected, putting—

There are nine Lairs in the city, one in the Yellow Zone and four =

BLACKNET

Blacknet missions are a series of optional missions that
unlock as you complete primary story missions throughout
the game. There are a set of Blacknet missions in each
major zone, with a variety of basic objective types.

Each Blacknet mission set consists of one or more sub-missions, which, once
completed, unlock a new Mutation reward for Heller.

BLACKNET MISSION TYPES

Blacknet missions are divided up into Mission Sets, a series of one to three
missions under an Operation name. Each of those missions is drawn from the
mission types described below.

d
|
| d |
|

There are twelve Mission Sets in total, with four in each of the three zones of NYZ:
Yellow, Green, and Red.

The very first mission is a special case, as it is the only mandatory Blacknet mission
in the game, and it serves as your introduction to some key gameplay concepts,
which we explain at greater length.

STRONGHOLD

You must infiltrate a secure Blackwatch compound and disrupt operations within.

^" |
| Th

Some of these missions permit a stealthy approach, using quiet consumption
to penetrate Blackwatch defenses, others can be done with pure brute force,
as you see fit.

Your Devastator ability is particularly effective in these missions, as the limited size
of the rooms forces Blackwatch troops into close proximity to Heller.

INFECTED SALVAGE
Destroy Infected samples that Blackwatch are attempting to control.

These missions involve defeating various types of Infected, typically with a heavy
Blackwatch presence nearby.

-4

хә
Ё 1111 E 1111111 44141414111111
HHHH | HH | {

CARGO DELIVERY

A set of timed race challenges, these missions involve recovering key data or other material from downed Blackwatch helicopters,
before a Blackwatch recovery team can catch up with you.

Later Cargo Delivery missions demand this time-sensitive acrobatic performance as you race around the city rooftops while under fire
by Blackwatch troops!

GENTEK SUPPORT

Gentek scientists offer all sorts of theoretical and applied science aid to Blackwatch. These missions give you a chance to rudely
disrupt their efforts by consuming Gentek scientists and neutralizing their operations.

SUPPRESSION

The most straightforward type of Blacknet mission, Suppression typically demands the outright destruction of key Blackwatch assets
and personnel.

This mission acts as a tutorial for Stealth Consuming

By using a Hunt ping, you can spot targets that are safe to consume

@ Retrieve the Patrol Schedules

This mission serves as an introduction to Cargo Delivery Blacknet missions. All follow the same basic pattern of having a Blackwatch
helicopter crash and scatter valuable cargo of one form or another over the city.

You then must pick up all of the cargo before a timer expires. Each piece of cargo you pick up extends the timer by a few seconds.

These missions are good tests of your agility and mobility skills, and they become easier as you upgrade Movement Evolution perks, or ===
pick up Locomotion Mutations. Use these missions to hone your sprinting, jumping, gliding, air dashing, and landing skills. ——

>>> You can hold Attack in mid-air to perform а dive kick, or hold Grab to perform a diving grab

Both of these moves can be used to quickly descend towards a cargo piece that is below you, which is useful in situations where falling normally might be

slower and you want to shave a few seconds off your time
Be aware that using these requires a bit of practice to aim them well, and you need to learn to cancel either type of dive by gliding again

Dont use the grab to descend all the way to a rooftop, or you may accidentally pick up an air conditioning unit or other bit of debris

Instead, use the descent from the grab to get lower quickly, then resume your glide to your target.

The dive kick can be used to land on or near a package, but doing so requires a fair amount of practice. Experiment when you're

around the city normally!

Both the grab and the dive kick can be used in one sequence of air moves, giving you the option to sprint, jump, glide, air dash (once or more), grab dive

Suppression missions are the most varied of Blacknet operations,

Blackwatch has a group of scientists conducting research.

Time to end that operation! Travel to the lair and head inside.

Once within the Lair, kill all of the marked scientists, then finish off
any marked Blackwatch troops. There aren't any serious threats in
the Lair, so this is an easy task.

Easy, perhaps, because when you leave, a Blackwatch patrol
containing two APCs and a full squad of Blackwatch troops is
waiting for you!

Destroy the APCs to force the commander out. You can attack
them directly, but it is much faster to simply grab a rocket launcher
from a generous Blackwatch donor.

Blast the APCs, and when the commander is forced out of his ride,
consume him. Doing so ends any threat from his squad, and you
can exit the Alert to finish off this multi-step mission.

Now travel to the first of three hot zones, located atop a

can land and pick up the scientist. Destroy them (easiest with
cannons), then land and grab the target.

The second hot zone is in a park, and this time you have to deal

r hand at a second, more difficult playthrough,

owers. These events are divided up into a series of five sets,
hallenges.

ecords are automatically cor Im | ds

COLLATERAL DAMAGE E?

Smash up Blackwatch troops with Heller's powers. You are given a series of "drops" to score kills using Hammerfist power attacks from
the air. If you touch the ground without attacking, you lose a drop.

Any unused drops at the end of a round give you +10 kills. Typically you can earn a gold medal by the third round if you aim very
carefully. Beyond that point, going after your friends' records requires very precise aim.

Gliding control is key here, you need to come in as low to the ground as possible to aim your power attack. Hold Attack for a circular
ground spike to clear clustered groups, and hold Secondary Attack for a linear spike line to clear rows of troops.

Many rounds have explosive barrels that must be hit to kill all of the troops, either more efficiently, or to complete a round at all.

RECOVERY Y

These are race events similar to the Cargo Delivery Blacknet missions. We strongly recommend you acquire all of Heller's mobility
upgrades before tackling these seriously.

INCINERATION E)

Toss Radnet barrels into the incinerators. You can do these very quickly by targeting a barrel, then holding Grab while in mid-air to
perform a diving grab.

Once you have the barrel in hand, aim for the incinerator, lock on, and throw the barrel to deposit it safely.

This technique, combined with the fundamentals of fast movement trained in Recovery, Cargo Delivery, and simply traveling around the
city, is the key to good scores.

RAMPAGE X

Lay the smack down on Infected and Blackwatch. These are pure combat missions, against Infected, Blackwatch, or both—sometimes
even with some normal military interlopers!

You earn points for all offensive actions, and killing any target. Aggressive play is rewarded with high scores here, as is using the right
tool for the job.

CHOPPER

These events provide fun times in the sky with Helicopter focused challenges. Use your chopper wisely in these race based events

While practice makes perfect, probably the two most important tips are to use the analog stick to control your tail when going around
buildings to avoid bashing it and losing speed, and being sure that you aren't too low when going over rooftops, or you can get hung up
on the edge and lose all of your speed.

CHALLENGES

Challenges are miniature tests of your skill. They can be accomplished at any time while roaming the world, and consist of such tests as:
most number of successful melee strikes without getting hit, kill 30 Infected targets with a Grenade Launcher in 30 seconds, Longest
Glide, and so on.

CHALLENGE RECORDS

On top of the basic Radnet Events, there are also a series of constantly tracked Challenges. These are simply records, everything from
how much Mass you consumed in 30 seconds, to how much military damage you did, in millions of dollars!

SPECIAL CHALLENGES
THE REWARDS

COLLATERAL DAMAGE —* BLAST RADIUS
GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE —e 110/70/32 KILLS

You start at the top of a building in the Yellow Zone. Below are two
groups of Blackwatch troops arranged in rings.

Drop down from above and use Hammerfist power attacks to kill
as many troops as possible in as few drops as possible.

To get the high score in this event, aim for dead center in the
middle of the Blackwatch troops and then hold the Attack button
to power bomb with ground spikes.

To reach the center reliably, drop low to the ground before you
glide, then glide in slowly over the center of the ring—the higher in
the air you are before you start your Hammerfist drop, the greater
the chances of missing your target.

You have three drops in each round to kill all of the Blackwatch
soldiers. An unused drop gives you a 10 point bonus. Hold Attack
to perform the circular Eruption attack, or Secondary Attack for a
frontal Shockwave attack when dropping.

RECOVERY — CITY SALVAGE Y
GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE —e 1:36/1:41/1:47

The first and most basic Recovery event, this mirrors the Cargo
Salvage races you performed during the Blacknet missions.

The difference here being, of course, the ability to humiliate
your friends...

There are 18 containers spread throughout the Yellow Zone; race
to collect them all as quickly as possible.

COLLATERAL DAMAGE —* CROSSHAIR
GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE — 58/50/35 KILLS

Unlike the first collateral event, this one has the soldiers lined up
in X patterns. Aiming for the center works fine at first, but once
they line up in multiple “stacked” X's, you need to aim for the outer
edges of the center. Doing so lets you maximize kills by taking out
both the outer X and part of the center.

After the basic X's, they start to spread out, making full clears very
precision dependent. If you're even a hair off center, you won't

score a squad wipe.

RECOVERY —• ROOFTOP RECON Y
GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE —• 1:19/1:25/1:32

Gather Mutagen from 19 containers scattered across the rooftops
of the Green Zone.

There are a lot of significant drops here. Learning to use the
drop-kick to speed up your descent is very helpful for shaving
seconds off your time.

Also remember that any time you use an air glide when fully
upgraded, you drift a bit longer, which can hurt your time if you're
trying to fall.

INCINERATION —e GAUNTLET

GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE —e 1:16/1:26/2:00
The inaugural barrel tossing games begin down at the pier in the
Yellow Zone.

There are five barrels located in a rough pentagon pattern straight
out from where you start, with the incinerator directly behind you.
There are also annoyingly placed Blackwatch soldiers with rocket
launchers.

Sprint forward, get some air, then immediately lock on to a barrel
and do a dive grab to pick it up. Spin around, leap up high, and
lock on to toss it into the incinerator.

This basic pattern is what you want to follow on every incinerator
mission...preferably while not taking rockets in the face.

RAMPAGE

Lay the smack down on a horde of Infected beneath the overpass
in the Yellow Zone.

You begin facing off against a Juggernaut and two Brawlers, along
with a mass of basic Infected around you.

You can tie up all three with Tendrils, then tear off pieces to heavily
damage them, ending with a finish of Hammerfist or Blade, for the
Juggernaut and Brawlers respectively.

More enemies constantly pour in as you defeat them, so stay busy
beating up basic Infected when no larger target is present.

INCINERATION - CROSSFIRE Y
GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE —e 1:24/1:34/1:56

There are four barrels up on rooftops nearby: two to the right, two

to the left. Conveniently, there are two incinerators placed back to
back facing each of the barrels.

Again, the tricky part here is avoiding incoming rockets while you
go for the barrels. Remember that as soon as you toss a barrel
towards the incinerator, you need to be changing your direction
and air dashing immediately, so as to not waste time.

RAMPAGE —* THE FINAL SHOOTOUT
GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE —• 45K/35K/28K

Face down military and Blackwatch troops in the Yellow Zone stadium.

This time you're up against basic soldiers, Orion supersoldiers, and helicopters. You can use the cars nearby to fling at the helicopters,

or use your Whipfist.

Note that you can weaponize the helicopters, but the points for using weapons aren't necessarily better than using your melee powers
efficiently. Experiment with using them to blast specific targets and see how it affects your score compared to simply slicing and dicing

targets as quickly as possible.

Chowing down on a supersoldier gives you good Mass for unleashing special attacks here, just as eating Brawlers or Juggernauts
does, so be sure to take advantage of it.

SET 3 EVENTS

COLLATERAL DAMAGE —* GRAND SLAM
GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE —e 104/85/45 KILLS

This event starts easy, but very quickly grows more challenging.
You have a clean avenue of approach to the stadium from the
outer rim, so glide in and go for smooth clean landings.

You start with four dives, and multiple rings of soldiers with barrels
within them. As with the previous Collateral event, aim for the outer
edge of the center of the formation, so that you can detonate a
barrel and pick off center soldiers at the same time to clear the
rounds more efficiently.

The second round forces you to learn perfect Shockwave aim.
Lines of soldiers lead out to barrels with more clustered soldiers,
so the only way to get all of the kills is to land a Shockwave right
at the start of the line that tags the barrel. This may take a few
attempts to get the aiming down just right.

Remember that your initial impact is lethal to nearby soldiers. This
quickly becomes important when later rounds put you up against
lines of soldiers that are more spread out. You have almost zero
margin for

error when
you land to
take out every
target.

RAMPAGE: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE: 80K/50K/30K

Face down Blackwatch and two Evolved at the same time on the

street in the Green Zone.

You can tear up the Evolved and nearby Blackwatch by using
the Tornado attack on the Blade, but don't bother with Tendrils or
Hammerfist here; the Evolved are too nimble.

Dodge or block incoming attacks to avoid or stagger the Evolved,
and counter-attack if you trigger a special attack prompt.

From this Rampage on, you should really be fully upgraded in
terms of combat abilities to have a good chance of outscoring
your buddies.

This is a tricky mission. There are five barrels spread out in an arc
in front of you, but they are widely spaced, and all are on rooftops.

The lone incinerator is right by your starting position on the ground
level. The problem here is that eating a rocket in the wrong place
can send you tumbling down to ground level, wasting a ton of time.

Try to keep yourself over the rooftops, so if you do eat a hit, you
don't fall far. Naturally, avoiding all hits is mandatory if you want to

RECOVERY —» FREEFALL Y
GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE — 1:23/1:30/1:35

Your goal in this race is the 19 containers filled with Mutagen in
the Red Zone.

This race really tests your ability to perform accurate, speedy
drops from heights. There are huge vertical shifts between the
containers here, so you have to drop quickly or you waste too
much time in the air.

When handling the few shorter jumps that do exist in this race,
remember to moderate your Jump button push so that you only
gain a moderate amount of height.

the roof itself, but all the bits sticking up from it as well.

This event includes 27 containers in the Red Zone. This one
is a doozy, as it sends you sprinting along the edges of tilted
skyscrapers and even up a lump of Infected biomass. Gross.

There are several rooftops with multiple containers, so make sure
you handle your sprinting carefully to manage the turns, sprinting
past a container (or worse, running off the edge) loses you a lot
of time.

Otherwise, just watch your transition time from rooftop to rooftop to
shave seconds, using dives to cut time off the long descents.

The layout for this level is positively evil, as you start on a

This chopper level tests your nerve as you pass under the freeway
and fly around cranes by the pier in the Yellow Zone through 24

FEROZ25

Here you encounter a full blown riot in the Red Zone, with Blackwatch, Infected, and regular military going at it. Tanks, check.
Supersoldiers, check. Juggernauts, check. Brawlers, soldiers, Infected? Check!

You can rack up points any number of ways here, focusing on or avoiding either the Blackwatch or Infected creatures as you see fit.

Be sure to mix up your Power selection here, using the right weapon for whatever group of enemies you're tackling can pile on

thousands of points to your score.

Facing 23 Gates in the Yellow Zone might seem easier than the

other events, but it's not. This event sends you through the tightest

spaces Radical could find, under the freeway and between

extremely narrow spaces barely wide enough to fit the chopper.

The nastiest spots tend to be turns that are nearly blind, as it's
very hard to see exactly which way you need to be facing to avoid
a nose or tail collision.

Take a few practice runs where you slow down and examine the
terrain between gates to plot a course. You don't have time to scan
the terrain or guess which way to turn on a full speed run.

PLATINUM MEDALS

Upon completion of the game, a new, harder tier of Platinum
